Time to get in shape… with free trial access to Wii Sports Club

Just in time for some warmer weather (in the Northeast at least), Nintendo has announced that they will be opening up Wii Sports Club for the Wii U for everyone beginning next weekend.

So if you’ve been interested in trying before you buy, from March 21st through March 23 access to the Wii Sports Club, including Golf, Bowling and Tennis, will be free. They also announced that the 9-hole course from Wii Sports Resort has been added to Wii Sports Club – Golf.

Check out the announcement below.

Spring is almost here! As the cold weather slowly creeps away, welcome the new season by tossing away the blanket and hopping off the couch to play Wii Sports Club. Starting on March 21 at 9 a.m. PT, Wii U owners can download and play the Wii Sports Club game for free until March 23 at 11:59 p.m. PT. This promotion includes free access to all three currently available sports (Wii Sports Club ? Golf, Wii Sports Club ? Bowling and Wii Sports Club ? Tennis) and is open to all Wii U owners*, even those who have previously tried or have already downloaded Wii Sports Club. As an added bonus, the Resort Course, a new nine-hole course in Wii Sports Club ? Golf that was originally featured in Wii Sports Resort, will be permanently added to the game via an update that is available today.

Wii Sports Club is a compilation of the sports from Wii Sports that features high-definition graphics, controls via Wii MotionPlus technology, immersive GamePad integration and an online multiplayer versus mode. In this mode, users with broadband Internet access can face off against other players all over the country online.

Players who want to keep playing after March 23 can purchase a Day Pass for $1.99 in the Nintendo eShop to play all available sports for a 24-hour period, or can buy a Club Pass that provides permanent access to individual sports for $9.99 each.
